Sex Therapy: The Session is the fourth studio album by American R&B singer Robin Thicke, released December 15, 2009 on Star Trak Entertainment in the United States. The album marked a broader musical approach for Thicke, incorporating stronger hip-hop influences and a more collaborative production process while embracing the sensual themes associated with his music and pursuing a lighter, more accessible sound. Thus, Sex Therapy: The Session features an expanded roster of guest artists, including Jay-Z, Game, Kid Cudi, Snoop Dogg, Nicki Minaj and Estelle.

The album received generally favorable reviews, with critics praising Thicke's songwriting, sensual themes, and blend of R&B, soul, hip-hop, and contemporary production, though some criticized its reliance on guest artists, awkward lyrics, and occasionally cartoonish approach to sexuality. Commercially, Sex Therapy: The Session debuted at number nine on the US Billboard 200 and number two on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, selling 123,000 copies in its first week and becoming Thicke's third consecutive top-10 album. The album lead single, "Sex Therapy," became a top ten hit on the US Adult R&B Songs chart.
